Explained simply
The Elder Scrolls is a fantasy role-playing game series made by Bethesda. Its games take place in Tamriel, a world of different regions and peoples; Skyrim, released in 2011, is one of its best-known entries.
The series often follows new characters through political struggles, ancient history and conflicts between rival groups. Hammerfell is a desert region in Tamriel, while a Moth Priest is a religious figure associated with interpreting ancient writings. The next game matters to players because it follows Skyrim after a long wait, but its story and setting have yet to be established in detail.
